    why is this the worst time of year for sales?

    what are some real reasons why sales are slow this time of year? is it kids not in school? or vacations and such?

    anyone have any hard data on this? saw the post below and it made my think

    Point being we have yet to hit the lowest point of the year.

    February is traditionally the strongest month of the year, it didnt feel that strong this year.

          Summer, 3rd quarter 2008, was amazing for me. Most I've made in a long time. Though a lot of sponsors had insane PPS promos around this time last year.

          This year is much slower but I'm about even with last year. 3Q is starting out about even but I fear Aug and Sep will not match last years income. We will see..

          However, to answer your question its because people are out and about. Family, travelling. They aren't stuck in the house like during Winter.

            With my limited traffic, this month can be my best ever if sales continues like this. July have been nice to me.

              Just one reason : With summer you can go to the beach or down the street and look at skimpy clad girls everywhere!

                Because you aren't promoting Video Secrets, naturally. We are breaking old sales record left, right and center, so we must be doing something right. ;)

                      Right ... there's always a demand

                      Only thing i notice on localized sites ... e.g. i have some sites specialized on the german market ... when i see the weather report and it's going to be good weather the next day it's usually a slow day, but e.g. last 2 days the weather was terrible over here and i had great sales from these sites - but even on good weather days there's a lot of sales going in the evening/night, it's just slow from morning to afternoon/early evening. On week/month averages there's nothing like a "summer slowdown"

                          Summer slowdown is a myth. I can prove it with stats. Summer months doesn't reflect in clicks, in ratios or in $$

                          What causes worse ratios, and income - it's ressesion, tubes, and processors scrubing cards (declining working ones)

                            When they have been in the sun all day, looking at bikini and topless chicks. They wanna go home and jerkoff. Thats my opinion on it all.
                            Oh and please, with tubes you mean illegal ones right...

                                of course illegal ones with full movies.

                                I see nothing wrong with those legal shitty quality preview video clip tubes, they are not killing surfer, they are making him hornier to see a better quality and longer clips

                                        I used to think the summer slow down was a myth. As the years went on I don't feel that way anymore. I have seen the same slow down in summer for the past 10 years.

                                        Now its important to note that I target US/Canada traffic so I feel that makes a big difference. Those running more globally might not feel it as much.
